Congrats, looks like a lot of hard work!

Could I swap storage engine with own key value storage e.g. rocksdb or similar?

Yes, that's the idea. Writing a simple read only database back end is not too tough.
Why read only? What's stopping this engine from using (for example) FoundationDB as storage?
Nothing, it's just quite a bit more complicated to implement a backend that supports writes.
